You have some pretty heavy use apps there. 64 bit would be the obvious choice if you were going to increase the ram.

I agree with zigzag3143. Go for 64 bit. Its capable of running all the apps you mentioned.

But will the laptop accept more than 4 gb.?

UPDATE
Why not the Toshiba Qosmio X500-10U 6gb ram and cheaper.

If the laptop can support i7, I m sure it will handle upto 8GB.

yeah, it can be expanded to 8 Gb,

i have never heard of the 10U, its not on the toshiba site (australia)
